Ultimate Fighting Championship Vol. 1 - Ufc Hits

If you're not aware that the human elbow is one of the most effective weapons at your disposal, you haven't been paying attention to Ultimate Fighting, a sport in which men meet in an octagonal ring and wrestle, punch, and frequently elbow each other into submission. This highlight tape, comprising footage during Ultimate Fighting tournament events held in various locations in the mid-1990s, might look very strange indeed for those who are new to the sport. A typical match involves two men who begin punching with bare knuckles, but as soon as one of them stumbles, his opponent kicks him in the face, knocking out a tooth and drawing blood. In fact, a lot of the matches on this tape wind up as bloodbaths, and unlike in professional wrestling shows, the cut foreheads, broken noses, and split lips are all real. Some matches are surprisingly brief, such as one where a contestant pins his opponent, who counters by delivering a speedy series of elbow jabs to the other man's head, immediately knocking him unconscious. Assembled as a program of best matches, this production could perhaps benefit from a structure that explains the origin of Ultimate Fighting and its rules.
